I think potty pads are wonderful. I live in an apartment and don't want to take her outside at night alone. Also, when I leave her a lone I know she won't pee anywhere, because their bladders are so small. My suggestion would to get a plastic bin that is big enough so she can't jump out, put a pad in there, and about every 20 to 30 min. put her in it. Don't take her out until she goes even if she is barking. She will soon realize that she is supposed to pee in there. I got Tinker at 4 mos too and this worked like a dream. I had her potty trained in a matter of 2 days. I mean I didn't completely trust her yet, but she went on the pad from then on. Like Schatzie said above, treats are very important as well. Yorkies are very smart and learn quickly so if you stick with it you should have no problem. Good luck!!!! |
